Kidnapped

Chapter 5

It was time for an escape plan. I was all alone in my cell, at least before I had my unconscious best friend in the cell next to me, but I fall asleep for a little bit, and they take her, leaving me with no one. I knew I had to escape, but I wouldn't be able to do it alone, I'd need help. I would need to wait for Marcus to come and get me, so I can see the basic layout of the house, and I might need Sarahs help, if she ever came to in time, but either way, I knew I needed t get out of here.

I waited for what seemed like forever, but when I saw the door swing open, and Marcus was illuminated by the light from out the window, I knew it was time to analyze everything I said or did.

He walked slowly down the steps and my eyes darted to his hand, which was covered in gauze and medical tape, my bad, but he deserved it.

The door slammed shut behind him.

In a moment he was in front of my cell, he took a pair of keys out of his pocket with his good hand, and fumbled around with them for a moment before selecting one, and shoved it in the lock. I heard a little click, and he pulled the door open and shoved the keys back in his pocket.

"Get up. It's time" Marcus said blankly.

Slowly, I got to my feet and stared at him, I looked him up and down to see if he had a weapon. If he did, I couldn't see it.

"Hurry up and get out, we don't have all day" he snarled.

I looked past him over his shoulder at the door. If I was fast enough, I could run right past him, out that door and barricade him inside. It wasn't a bad idea, he was wounded and weakened, I had to try.

"Let's go!" He yelled at me.

I walked out of the cage and stood beside him, he turned back to push the cage door shut, and thats when I did it.

Using all of my might, I slammed my foot back on the back of his leg. Je screamed out in pain, and I ran for it, I ran as fast as I could up the stairs and through the, I slammed it shut behind, took my black belt off of my now dirty outfit. I tied the belt around the door and ran over to the spiral staircase across from it and wrapped it around it. I knew it would hold for a little bit because one, it was a thick belt, and two, the door was a push door.

Just as I did it, I heard the doorknob turning and banging on the door. I had to hide, I had to get out of here! But I couldn't leave without Sarah. Marcus was left trapped, and I thought to myself, one down, one to go.

And I left Marcus in that room, yelling and banging on the door, but I had to leave the scene before AJ wondered where we were.

Thinking of which way to go, I decided to run up the spiral staircase, it probably would've been my best bet. My heart was pounding and my palms were sweaty as I ran up the very long staircase.

Once I reached the top, it broke out into two corridors, one to the left, and one to the right. I looked down each corridor deciding which one would be the safest, I saw a light shining out from under one of the doors in the right corridor. It could mean either,

AJ is sitting there, waiting for me, or Sarah's being kept in there. I decided the most likely option was that AJ was sitting in that room, waiting for me, so I took left corridor.

Quietly as I could, I snuck down the left corridor, looking at each down as I walked by it, I turned a corner with a few more doors, which gave me no indication what was inside them, no lights, no sounds, no peepholes.

As I made a left turn this time, I noticed that there were no doors down this corridor, but I kept going.

As I was walking, I heard footsteps. Footsteps and quiet mumbling that was getting louder, coming from the end of the corridor. With no doors, I didn't, know where to hide, just as I saw a shadow appear at the end of the corridor, I accidentally threw myself back up onto a painting and threw my hand back, which hit a part of the painting, I heard a small click and the wall rotated, taking me inside of it and making it look like nothing ever happened, the same painting was on the other wall.
